-prefix error when installing apache

[Kobrakai]

I am trying to setup apache / mysql / php on Red Hat v9. I have been following different guides online, and everyone seems to have the command ./configure –prefix=/usr/local/apache2 –enable-mods-shared=most. When I try to run this command I get the following error "configure: error: invalid variable name: –prefix"

I am sure this is something fairly simple because this is only my first day using linux and I don't really know what I am doing.

Also, I selected apache to be installed when I setup Red Hat. Is it already installed? How do I run it?

have you tried:
./configure -–prefix=/usr/local/apache2 -–enable-mods-shared=most

Also ./configure --help | less will show you all of the available options. Alternately you could install from the rpm.
